I'm 56. I've struggled with mental health problems all my life. I'm on meds and get regular therapy. But how do you change a life-long way of existing? How do I find my real self and then reveal her to the world? I don't even think that I can find her. I want to, but how do I do it? I've hidden her to protect myself for so long that I don't know how to find her.

Does anyone know what I mean?
